The science is settled.[/quote]

Liberal parents scored the lowest, largely because they are the least likely to successfully discipline their children.

WOW. This is damning. Any libs here going to self-reflect on your political affiliations/parenting problems?

I’m a liberal parent.  Both my college kids are ADHD- One ADHD- Tyle Inattentive (a girl) and one Type Hyperactive (a boy). Both parents also ADHD— def. a genetic component. The boy is also partly out to our family as gay. Girl is still in the closet as asexual except to immediate family and favorite aunt. Plus, a couple of her friends know and a couple of mine (I need support from my BFF of 30 years sometimes).

Our family mostly does not know she is asexual.  They are  ready to support the gay kid— which is great, but we’ve all seen that coming for years.  The asexual kid will be a surprise, and they may well deny asexuality exists, tell her she’ll “get better,” etc. if she gains weight (BMI well below 20 and issues with low estrogen may play a role— but for the last 6+ years, this has been her reality) and— most essentially— if s he works hard and doesn’t talk about Ed problems, she can still get and keep a man.

Hyperactive ADHD kid has diagnoses, medication and a support system. He would be counted as receiving mental health treatment no matter who his parents are

Inattentive ADHD kid who identifies as asexual? Her problems get overlooked. And in the family I grew up in?  She’s considered a huge success on the grandparents FB feeds, except for the not dating thing. Her diagnoses would not be counted, she would not get therapy.  She would be able to mask the ADHD (like I did) until it all fell part. She would be pushed to date a football player.  In fact, we have had conservative members in our family that support her brother deny she is ADHD— and say we are lying for the attention, because she has decent grades and has is “so organized” (like painfully so).  They also say “fake it till you make it” with boys— otherwise she won’t be marriageable (as I struggle to explain to her why “marriageable”  that matters so much to the grandparents, when I it doesn’t matter at all to  DH or I.  And have started cutting “marriageable” discussions off at the pass.

Our asexual, ADHD-I kid would not have diagnoses in a conservative household and would not be getting academic and psychological supports. But she does in ours. Our willingness to listen to her and get her support and treatment doesn’t make us bad parents. It makes us parents who listen. And we heard loud and clear  that this kid probability needs our support to talk to the family about her sexuality and to deal with her weight and with her ADHD as much as or more than the gay kid.  Because the level of stress over these issues was so high. Her problems are just quieter.

There is no way this is real. I always knew liberal parents are to blame for how screwed up kids are these days but this is incredible.

Your kids will probably end up killing themselves or shooting up a school. [/quote]

Why are you so triggered by the pp? What is so strange about any of that?[/quote]
